Adventuring with Jimny Rentals

From pioneering a unique rental service to crafting custom-printed clothing, Adam's journey is marked by innovation and a love for the great outdoors. His entrepreneurial spirit, married with a thirst for adventure, led to the birth of Jimny Rentals.

The Suzuki Jimny is an icon of intrepid travel and steadfast reliability. Its design and capabilities make it the ideal companion for tackling the New Zealand outdoors. Adam's choice of the Jimny is no coincidence; its reputation mirrors his vision of offering a sustainable, exhilarating adventure without compromising on the thrill of exploration. The Jimny is built tough and its ALLGRIP PRO 4WD system and full ladder chassis make it easy to explore the depths of the back country.

Jimny Rentals transcends the conventional rental formula, offering the complete experience. As Adam puts it, “Adventures are always better with mates”. And his Jimny adventures are an opportunity to make new friends and have fun with old ones, while exploring New Zealand’s most captivating off-road terrains.

From the initial planning to the end of the trail, Adam and his team tailor each adventure to the adventurers’ needs. With Adam’s help, first-time and seasoned explorers alike can set out with confidence. And they get hands on with NZ’s favourite compact off-roader. The Jimny makes adventure easy with Hill Hold and Hill Descent Control coupled with brake LSD traction control. Even a newbie to off-roading can enjoy the drive.

We asked Adam, why Jimny? Adam loves Jimny for their quirkiness. “They look like an old vehicle but with all the mod cons. I wish more manufacturers would do this.”. With more than 50 years of adventures behind it, Jimny has the nostalgia factor coupled with all the bells and whistles needed in a modern 4WD.

Jimny Rentals customers are as varied as Kiwi Jimny drivers. Every one Adam meets has their own story. From the couple who discovered hidden beaches on their honeymoon to the solo traveller who found solace in the serenity of nature; these experiences are what fuel Adam’s passion. Adam’s Jimnys are his pride and joy and while he worries about his precious Jimnys being “caned around the countryside”, nothing beats “seeing our clients faces when they come back from a trip… so rewarding!”.

Looking to the future, Adam dreams of growing his fleet, creating more guided tours, and introducing new experiences for Jimny enthusiasts. It’s an exciting horizon for Jimny Rentals, with the open road calling for more stories to be made.

If you want an adventure with “the best small 4x4 around”, then an adventure with Jimny Rentals should be your next stop. Adam and his team can introduce you to some amazing trips:
